The popularity of this design trend will likely become a thing of the past, however, because dark cabinets are set to make a comeback in 2025. You might remember that deep-colored cabinets were once in high demand. Like many trends, this design choice has made its way into the spotlight once again — and it's still just as timeless as it was before.
